The game started out fantastic then sunk to the same old scripted A-B, fight a boss or two that is super strong same-old same-old, game with superior graphics. The Aliens sequences destroyed the game and took it back to mediocre. Too bad the reviews reflect the hype instead of the reality.

As for SP bugs, many and often. A "work-around" that you have implement via the console when ever it occurs is hardly the the stuff a patch is made of.

When this game was announced--I was salivating. Then I read about the paid subscription option and thought this I would pass unless it was one GREAT game. After having been burnt so often lately on games that were so buggy, short or just plained sucked I continued to wait until the reviews were in.

Well they are in and it is just another buggy, released too early game that not only has problems but is double billing their subscribers.

The subscription fee put me off to begin with, and it became a maybe purchase instead of a must have purchase. After reading the reviews, here and elsewhere-as well as all the server problems, lag etc.-it's off my list.

Is there a company left anywhere that can actually release a game that is actually ready to play anymore????

Hell, I might as well give up on PC games and get myself a console, at least I know what to expect (dumbed down games).

I got EP 1 (just EP 1--none of the games that I don't need and I won't play) for $8.99. Now that is more than a resonable price for an EP type game. And just look at how successful Episode games have become--- how did you all enjoy finishing SIN and after HL EP 3 valve is abandoning that format too.

$50.00????? What sh|t is that???? for an episode??This nothing short of an rip off --pure and simple. Let me purchase JUST EPISODE 2 for $19.00 and none of this bloat ware, or games/episodes that I already have and give the game(s)that you ALREADY OWN AND HAVE PAID FOR again to a friend crap. And there are already a few fools posting can't wait to lay my daddy's money down to pay for what they already have. No wonder they get away with it.

Another f'n port from UBI that will screw over PC gamers.UBI should just get out of PC game development because they don't have devs capable of making games for the PC and they really don't give a darn. They have proved this over and over again based on all of their PC releases over the last 2 years!!

The first one for the PC was noting short of an absolute disaster. A straight port, that didn't recognise many joysticks (the devs admitted that they didn't test for joystick compatibility) or let you configure them, MP that didn't work, no rudder--and on and on. It was noting more than a complete piece of excrement for the PC. It was too bad because it had potential. Many are still waitng for the next Crimson Skies (for the PC--not that rubbish for the 360). Given UBI's recent record for POS console ports for the PC--I don't have too much faith that this game will be any better!!!

No demo (yet???) for the PC! That sends up red flags! This is likely another UBI port that will be on the 'not from my wallet' list

"So. is it specifically console type games, or games that are made for multiple platforms that seem so terrible?"

Neither, that make a game for the console then directly port it over to the PC, without changing for the PC. Blazing Angels and Rainbow Las Vegas being prime example. They do not seem capable of making PC games anymore.

Everytitle that UBI has put out for th PC lately have been nothing short of a console port (VEGAS, Blazing Angels), or destroyed the franchise because they have taken the game too far from it's roots (Ghost Recon-Graw 1&2, Raven Shield) or just completely buggy unfinished games (Silent Hunter IV, Graw, Blazing Angels, Lockdown, Vegas). Nope ,UBI is now the Crown Prince of crap releases.

After all the crap releases from UBI recently (VEGAS,SH4, Blazing Angels etc.)and poor/non existant support, I will wait until the SINGLE PLAYER DEMO. But then again since it UBI and I have been screwed over 2 times by their buggy console port releases-I won't be buying it. Graw 2 has been described as Graw 1.5. Not much new, but what Graw should have been when it was first released.

PC gamer gave it an incredibly high score in their review this month. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! it got 67% which puts it in the POS range. They were not impressed. Outdated graphics, over priced, stiff mouse control, requires Vista " visually humdrum shooter" and "Halo 2 for PC is too little, too late"
